oh, because in your script you have
Code:
mv ConfigFiles.tar /backup/ConfigFiles-${DATE}.tar

For me (on Debian) works this solution:

Code:
ftp -in <<EOF
open 192.168.0.11
user xxx xxxx
cd backup
put *.tar
close
EOF

hi telouet ,

the problem my be the DATE variable initialization is wrong as you use Date variable but in mv command you use $DATE so try the below :
Code:
#!/bin/sh
DATE=$(date +'%d-%m-%Y-%H-%M')

tar -cvf /tmp/ConfigFiles.tar /Firewall/ConfigFiles

mv /tmp/ConfigFiles.tar /backup/ConfigFiles-${DATE}.tar

ftp -in <<THEEND
open 192.168.0.11
user xxx xxxx

lcd backup #the remote dir you want to ftp file to 
cd /backup/ # the local dir which have the file
lls 
ls  

put ConfigFiles*.tar

bye

THEEND
